Our Lady of Prompt Succor Catholic Church news

Officials with Knights of Columbus Council No. 8743 said 217 people purchased 295 bricks for the walking rosary project. However, due to the unforeseen need of gutters for Our Lady of Prompt Succor Catholic Church, which will require use of heavy equipment in the area where the rosary project will be constructed, the brick project will be delayed. The group will continue to sell bricks if anyone is interested. The brick project will begin after the gutter project is completed.
